On an old netbook I have which is (was) running Windows XP, and when I boot, I get a BOOTMGR is missing error, but according to this site I should actually get NTLDR is missing instead. I find this vexing. Is there a fix for it? (Exact error: BOOTMGR is missing (newline) Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart)

This message usually indicates that the boot sector is damaged or missing. The boot sector is a region of your hard disk that contains information that is used to load your operating system. If a boot failure is detected when your PC is starting, you may receive this error message.
To resolve this issue, use the steps in the following KB article:
